I am giving this rating because I was overcharged for service.
I have been a mechanic in the aviation and aerospace industries for 25 years, I can turn a wrench. I work 6 and 7 days a week and have little time for truck repairs. I took my truck to Crivelli Ford, where I bought it, for service. It was running rough, I figured it was a cylinder miss-firing. It was. $202.95 later I had one new ignition coil for one cylinder. There was a $92.58 charge for parts and the rest was labor. 6 mos. later I had another cylinder miss-fire. I had bought a diagnostic tool in the mean time and fixed this problem myself. The coil cost $45 and the total time to replace the coil was less than 35 minutes, including travel time to get the part from a local Ford dealer. Diagnosis and replacement time was less than 10 minutes. I called the service manager, he said the high bill was due to using a system analyzer and a Motorcraft part. I told him I used my own analyzer and bought the coil from a Ford dealer. He had no response.
